Sony shook hands with Vodafone today, naming the network its "preferred provider" of 3G for the PlayStation Vita in Europe.
PS Vita WipEout
The 3G version of PS Vita - which launches in the UK on 22 February next year - will come with a Vodafone SIM card and a PSN voucher for a free copy of WipEout 2048.

why oh why?

.....do Sony, for generations, one of the worlds most innovative consumer electronics companys, keep shooting themselves in the foot?

Or did they shake hands with the one with the biggest advertising budget, the fastest race cars, and the most logos' everywhere?
